In the same vein as Digg, that I wrote about in a previous post, there’s Fark.

Fark’s been around a long time and really honed the super-community news reporting thing. Like Digg, the content comes directly from suggestions of the community. The stories are also seriously categorized in a blog format, and the sources are almost always cited. This makes the actual output of news on the site very different from the Drudge Report. However, like the Drudge Report, Fark is a site that probably publicizes a lot of overlooked news that then gets picked up by bigger news outlets.

It’s geared towards the odd or shocking, although they recently moved all their “Boobies” (basically porn) category posts to a completely different site. So Fark is more office friendly now, but you still don’t quite know what you’ll see over there. Like the Drudge Report, it’s a dirty little secret site that legions of internet users can’t resist checking throughout the day.
